Sho'Nuff is a brilliant 'best of' album by The Black Crowes. It's made up of57 tracks, taken predominantly from the albums; Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, Shake Your Money Maker and Three Snakes and One Charm.

This album is different to their greatest hits album (released in 2000), mainly because it has more material and more diversity.

Sho'Nuff is a brilliant 'best of' album by The Black Crowes. It's made up of57 tracks, taken predominantly from the albums; Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, Shake Your Money Maker and Three Snakes and One Charm. But it also features different versions of old classics like 'Sting Me-Slow', which is a totally delicious take on the original. So for those of you that think there isn't much point in getting this album as you already have the original albums, then I would definitely say it is because of little gems like 'Sting Me-Slow' and 'She Talks to Angels-Acoustic version' (the piano intro in this one is really beautiful).
This album is different to their greatest hits album (released in 2000), mainly because it has more material and more diversity. The greatest hits album has 16 tracks and was mainly produced as a tribute to their work over that past decade and also to commemorate them splitting from their American/Columbia. Sho'Nuff is better than this greatest hits album as the greatest hits concentrates tad too much on 'By Your Side' album and there are several of their best tracks missing from it. So for those of you looking for a concise compilation album that does justice to the full achievements of The Black Crowes, then I would definitely recommend this album.
Summary: The definitive collection of Black Crowes classics.

Recorded at Chateau De Le Crowe, Atlanta, Georgia. SHO' NUFF is a 5-CD box set representing the 10 years the Black Crowes had been touring, recording and stirring up their share of controversy. The band's first four studio albums make up this package along with a bonus live EP recorded during a 1995 five-night stand at New York's Beacon Theater. Playing these albums chronologically makes for a fascinating listening experience in tracing the Black Crowe's musical progression, starting with a young southern band whose roots could be traced to Otis Redding, early '70s Rolling Stones and Faces on their debut SHAKE YOUR MONEYMAKER. Many detractors felt the Crowes were merely aping the influence of the latter bands. The band ignored these criticisms and soldiered on infusing influences as diverse as reggae (covering Bob Marley's "Time Will Tell"), funk (teaming with P-Funk members on "[Only] Halfway To Anywhere") and Chicano rock ("High Head Blues"). Upping the ante, each album has bonus tracks that range from Willie Dixon covers ("Mellow Down Easy") to alternate versions of well-known Crowes songs ("Sting Me"). The live EP finds the Black Crowes drastically reworking their material, highlighted by a version of "Hard To Handle" backed by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
